Saint Homobono 

"Saint Homobono" is a drawing by the Italian Renaissance artist Avanzino Nucci, executed in pen and brown ink. The work depicts a scene from the life of Saint Homobono, a 13th-century Italian saint known for his healing powers. Nucci's drawing captures the moment of the saint's healing, with Saint Homobono at the center surrounded by onlookers. The artist utilizes strong lines and shading to create a sense of depth and realism. The drawing is a testament to Nucci's skill as a draftsman and his interest in religious themes. The small size of the work, measuring only 14.4 x 18.3 centimeters, suggests it may have been a preparatory study for a larger painting. This study is a reminder of Nucci's contributions to the Italian Renaissance artistic tradition.
